Marie Claire Arabia

Sep 2026

A Place, Once Knew is a fashion editorial for Marie Claire Arabia that explores the intersection of classical heritage and surrealist narratives. Photographed by Abdulla Elmaz, the series juxtaposes structured, high-fashion silhouettes against ornate, historic European interiors and verdant, garden-focused outdoor settings. The imagery employs soft, natural light to bridge these disparate environments, utilizing elements like whimsical oversized handbags and deliberate scaling to introduce an artistic, surreal aesthetic. With hair styling by Alexandre Gloaguen and casting by Olivier Duperrin, the editorial highlights a sophisticated play on texture and architecture. The project features model Max Heuvelman and manicure work by Lorandy, capturing a clean, timeless mood through meticulous composition.
